kprobes: Fix optimize_kprobe()/unoptimize_kprobe() cancellation logic



optimize_kprobe() and unoptimize_kprobe() cancels if a given kprobe
is on the optimizing_list or unoptimizing_list already. However, since
the following commit:

  f66c0447 ("kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code")

modified the update timing of the KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, it doesn't
work as expected anymore.

The optimized_kprobe could be in the following states:

- [optimizing]: Before inserting jump instruction
  op.kp->flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is not empty.

- [optimized]: jump inserted
  op.kp->flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is empty.

- [unoptimizing]: Before removing jump instruction (including unused
  optprobe)
  op.kp->flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is not empty.

- [unoptimized]: jump removed
  op.kp->flags doesn't have KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is empty.

Current code mis-expects [unoptimizing] state doesn't have
KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, and that can cause incorrect results.

To fix this, introduce optprobe_queued_unopt() to distinguish [optimizing]
and [unoptimizing] states and fixes the logic in optimize_kprobe() and
unoptimize_kprobe().

[ mingo: Cleaned up the changelog and the code a bit. ]
